Send a one-off SMS

Quick send for one number or a pasted list — cost preview, encoding, and delivery states.

For Dashboard users

  1. 1

    Open Send SMS

    From the dashboard sidebar choose Send SMS. This is the fastest path for a single alert or a small pasted list. Use Campaigns when you already have a saved group.

  2. 2

    Add recipients

    Type or paste numbers in international format without +. You can also pick from Contacts. Invalid rows are flagged before you pay.

  3. 3

    Write the message

    Choose an approved Sender ID. Watch the segment count and estimated credit cost as you type. GSM-7 is 160 characters per segment; Unicode is 70.

  4. 4

    Confirm and track

    Send. Open Message results to filter by status. Queued means accepted, Sent means handed to the carrier, Delivered means the handset or network confirmed (where the route supports DLR).
